    Toolbox Talk No 1 HOUSEKEEPING

    Good housekeeping not only improves the working environment and makes work tasks easier to accomplish, a tidy site has less accidents than a site where good housekeeping is not practiced. 1. Clear up waste and scrap dont leave it lying around as a tripping hazard. Put your rubbish in the BINS provided as soon as possible dont leave it for others to deal with. Always keep dangerous substances secure and correctly dispose of empty containers (see manufacturers instructions). Always carefully stack materials awaiting installation in a position where they will not create an obstruction or tripping hazard. Never leave materials or tools on stairways or in poorly lit areas. Keep access routes clear of all obstructions; you never know when an emergency may arise. Cables carelessly draped across access routes will create a tripping hazard. Never leave tools or materials where they could fall and injure any person below (in particular, on top of pairs of steps). Low level services should be clearly marked and/or padded to prevent injuries caused by people inadvertently bumping into them. Never leave sharp edged materials or other dangerous items (eg nails sticking out of timber), lying around, or protruding from the work face. Always report any hazards you may have noticed to a member of staff, eg unprotected holes, insecure/inadequate guardrails, obstructed access routes, etc.
